This book describes data structures, methods of organizing large amounts of data, and algorithm analysis, the estimation of the running time of algorithms. As computers become faster and faster, the need for programs that can handle large amounts of input becomes more acute. Paradoxically, this requires more careful attention to efficiency, since inefficiencies in programs become most obvious when input sizes are large. By analyzing an algorithm before it is actually coded, students can decide if a particular solution will be feasible. For example, in this text students look at specific problems and see how careful implementations can reduce the time constraint for large amounts of data from 16 years to less than a second. Therefore, no algorithm or data structure is presented without an explanation of its running time. In some cases, minute details that affect the running time of the implementation are explored. Once a solution method is determined, a program must still be written. As computers have become more powerful, the problems they solve have become larger and more complex, thus requiring development of more intricate programs to solve the problems. The goal of this text is to teach students good programming and algorithm analysis skills simultaneously so that they can develop such programs with the

    A symbol table mechanism must allow us to add new entries and find existing entries. The two symbol table mechanisms are linear lists and hash tables. Each scheme is evaluated on the basis of time required to add n entries and make e inquiries. A linear list is the simplest to implement, but its performance is poor when n and e are large. Hashing schemes provide better performance for greater programming effort and space overhead.…

    Read: Course syllabus and Chapter 1 in CLR (Cormen, Leiserson, and Rivest). What is algorithm design? Our text defines an algorithm to be any well-defined computational procedure that takes some values as input and produces some values as output. Like a cooking recipe, an algorithm provides a step-by-step method for solving a computational problem. A good understanding of algorithms is essential for a good understanding of the most basic element of computer science: programming. Unlike a program, an algorithm is a mathematical entity, which is independent of a specific programming language, machine, or compiler. Thus, in some sense, algorithm design is all about the mathematical theory behind the design of good programs. Why study algorithm design? There are many facets to good program design. Good algorithm design is one of them (and an important one). To be really complete algorithm designer, it is important to be aware of programming and machine issues as well. In any important programming project there are two major types of issues, macro issues and micro issues. Macro issues involve elements such as how does one coordinate the efforts of many programmers working on a single piece of software, and how does one establish that a complex programming system satisfies its various requirements. These macro issues are the primary subject of courses on software engineering. A great deal of the programming effort on most complex software systems consists of elements whose programming is fairly mundane (input and output, data conversion, error checking, report generation). However, there is often a small critical portion of the software, which may involve only tens to hundreds of lines of code, but where the great majority of computational time is spent. (Or as the old adage goes: 80% of the execution time takes place in 20% of the code.) The…

    There was this guy who was always keen about his trip on the Manila Light Rail Transit System [LRT]. As the train passes by, he would take note of some variables; time, train operator, train number, model, etc. Even though there exists an unprecedented problem when it comes to passenger volume in the LRT, he made sure that he would always end up having a seat or getting in the earliest possible train at the very least. From a distance, he could tell by the head end of the train, the exact position of where each door would open. But isn’t that what the yellow lines are for? Sadly, yes. But due to the overlooked quality and lack of maintenance of the public service, the yellow lines are highly inaccurate. Nevertheless, they are still dependent on some things. And yes, that guy was me.…
